About Forward PE Ratio

The Forward Price to Earnings (PE) Ratio is similar to the price to earnings ratio. While a regular P/E ratio is a current stock price over it's earnings per share, a forward P/E ratio is a current stock's price over its "predicted" earnings per share. Forward P/E ratios less than the current P/E indicates expected increased earnings. Keep in mind, analyst estimates are not set in stone, and can often be wrong.

Forward PE Ratios can highlight some sentiment of a stock. If the forward P/E ratio is higher than the current P/E ratio, it indicates decreased expected earnings.
